Doctor of Science's Journey into Another World

Chapter 585 Auction (4) Angry Manion

Although Shelby is the weakest among the dozen demon kings in Magic City, his social skills are very good. He seemed to be introducing the blood-stained robe, but in fact he was flattering Chonglou. Bai Hao just smiled and said nothing.

There is only one Demon King, Shelby, in the Galendo family, and he is the weakest one, with almost no chance of making any further breakthroughs. The other Demon Kings in the Demon City have already established solid small circles and interest alliances. Shelby was only promoted to the Demon King class decades ago, so it is difficult for him to fully integrate into the rank.

It was smart to cling to Chonglou, the new demon king, at this time. Bai Hao naturally planned to make good use of the Galendo family and let them stand between the Demon Hunting Bureau and other demon kings in the Demon City, both as the vanguard and as a buffer.

After Shelby's words, everyone in the auction hall looked at the blood-stained robe with envy, even the demon kings in the box. The fact that it could help the demon kings advance was definitely the most fatal temptation.

Most of the demons in the auction took off their hats and saluted towards the box where Chonglou was. Even if these people were not demon kings, they were well-known figures in the demon world. No matter what, they had to show goodwill to a third-level original demon.

Chonglou's appearance brought the stagnant water in the Magic City, which had been quiet for many years, back to life. He transformed himself into a huge rock and smashed it into the water, causing a thousand waves.

"The starting price is one million gold coins, and each bid increase must be no less than fifty thousand gold coins!"

Shelby didn't waste any more words, but directly announced the start of the auction, and his eyes also raised to the VIP box on the top floor, because only this place would be eligible to bid from now on.

"One million and a half million!"

"One million and one million!"

"1.2 million!"

As the glowing magic stones outside the box continued to light up, Shelby kept reading out the new round of prices. The atmosphere on the scene was very lively. Every time Shelby spoke, there would be exclamations. Although most people were just watching, such an exaggerated amount of money was always difficult to calm down. Each price increase was an astronomical figure.

"One million seven hundred thousand!"

"One million, eighty-five million!"

Just as the bidding was proceeding in an orderly manner, the glass of a VIP room shattered, and a second-level primordial demon king emitting a terrifying aura walked to the window barefoot on the broken glass. His whole body was red, and his hair, beard, skin and even eyes were like flames.

Bai Hao recognized that this was the Demon King of the Fire Demon Clan. He had been promoted to the second level for more than a thousand years, but until now there was no sign of a breakthrough. It was obvious that he had encountered a bottleneck. Such a Demon King had the strongest desire for the blood-stained robe!

"Lord Manion, what are you going to do? This is an auction jointly guaranteed by all the demon kings in the Demon City, and you are also included..."

"Haha, Shelby, why are you so nervous?" Manion looked at Shelby with disdain, then glanced at the other VIP boxes and said calmly, "Don't be so hesitant. Why should we, the Demon King, bid like ants?"

Shelby's expression became gloomy when he heard this, because he was also standing under the auction hall at this moment. Doesn't this mean that he also belongs to the ranks of ants?

But even though he was angry, Shelby did not open his mouth to yell, because he did not dare to. He just quietly rose into the air and left the ground.

"How about this, raise the price by one million gold coins each time, and I'll go first," Manion said calmly, "Five million gold coins, plus three strands of soul red flames from my Fire Demon clan!"

Manion's words made everyone in the auction hall hold their breath. Not to mention the outrageous astronomical figure of five million gold coins, even the red flames of the Fire Demon's soul could not be measured in value.

Manion was very smart. He knew that Chonglou was no longer short of money after the auction of gold, silver, pearls and jade. The number of gold coins was just a string of meaningless numbers at this time. What could impress him must be some rare treasures, such as those treasures passed down from generation to generation in the Demon King's family!

In the demon world, the real treasures are basically priceless and can only be exchanged for things. After all, no amount of gold coins can allow an original demon to advance. Even adding a few zeros cannot measure the actual value of the blood-stained robe.

At this time, Shelby had flown into the air without knowing when, but he was still several steps shorter than Manion. Even though he was unhappy at this moment, he still followed the etiquette of his class, "Lord Manion, you are..."

"Shut up," Manion said, interrupting Shelby rudely before he could finish. The terrifying aura from the second-order primordial demon shocked everyone in the auction hall. "I'm proposing a trade invitation to the honorable Lord Kenquil, why are you making such a fuss?"

Shelby was unhappy when he heard this, but he did not refute it immediately. It was just that so many demon nobles were watching below, and Manion did not give him any face at all, which made it difficult for Shelby to step down.

"Since the transaction is being conducted at the Champs Elysees Auction House, we must naturally abide by the auction rules."

A cold voice came from a VIP box, followed by a strange buzzing sound. The glass of the box turned into powder. Chonglou came to the window with a graceful succubus in one hand and looked at Manion expressionlessly.

Chonglou did not have any of the pressure that an original demon should have, but everyone, including the dozen or so demon kings present, believed that this was a sign of Chonglou's return to nature. He just disdained to speak with the pressure of a third-level original demon.

Although in fact, Bai Hao was unable to create the pressure of a third-order primordial demon. Even the glass of the box turned into powder just by some high-frequency vibration magic he cast.

Manion's eyes widened at this moment, because no matter whether the glass of the box had just turned into powder or Chonglou was now suspended in the sky, he did not feel any magical fluctuations that a third-level primordial demon should have, as if the person standing in front of him was just an ant.

But obviously, this is absolutely impossible. Many signs indicate that Chonglou is a third-order primordial demon. He can fly without flapping his wings, and he can take out so many treasures from the mortal world. Of course, he also has this transcendent and calm temperament...

Therefore, the only truth was that Chonglou's strength was much higher than his own, so high that he could not even sense the fluctuations of magic power. This made Manion feel unprecedented fear, and his body unconsciously stepped back half a step.
